HopeHealth Offers Nutrition Class

Are you interested in making a change for your health, but don’t know where to start? HopeHealth, in partnership with SCDHEC, offers “It’s Your Health, Take Charge,” a series of free nutrition classes, open to the public, which are designed to make cooking healthy food easy, exciting, and budget friendly.

Offered biweekly, each class covers a different nutrition topic and includes handouts, take-home recipes, and samples to taste. Participants are invited to collaborate, ask questions, and learn simple tips for healthy eating from a registered dietician nutritionist.

Topics for the course include whole grains and fiber, portion distortion, salt and sodium, label reading, healthy cooking at home, shopping on a budget, choosing healthy options when dining out, and increasing physical activity.

“It’s Your Health, Take Charge” is offered on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. The course is traditionally offered at the HopeHealth Medical Plaza from 10-11:30 am, with the current series being offered on April 12, April 26, May 11, May 24, June 14, and June 28.
